Allow me to respectfully take issue with this proposal for two main reasons:

The stadium and velodrome are a better fit at the west harbour site than they are at the Ivor Wynne and Mohawk College sites;

Equally important is that there is already a dearth of sports parks in Ward 3. The removal of Brian Timmis Field and possibly Scott Park to accommodate the Tiger-Cat stadium at the Ivor Wynne site will eliminate the main community soccer park and possibly three baseball diamonds in Ward 3. The west harbour area already has quite a good inventory of outdoor soccer fields and baseball diamonds in the vicinity.
